Cats can climb the spiral staircase on the left to reach the porch overhang, or they can use the tree on the right to reach a cat ladder that's a short jump away from the cat flap.

A ladder leads to a cat flap in the window, allowing cats to come and go without the owners opening the building's front door.

This ladder serves three upper levels and obstructs views from the balconies it passes. The graffiti tag on the top floor speaks for cats, reading, “Miau!!!“

A chicken ladder connects to a spiral staircase leading to the fourth level of a building. The cat's owner, however, says the cat often prefers to use the grapevine.

Cats can come and go from this balcony by way of the wooden spiral staircase or the chicken ladder.

Small platforms lead to a cat flap in the window.

Sabina Maeder built a bridge from her balcony to a tree for her 17-year-old cat, Busski.

This cat ladder zigzags up the building wall like a staircase.

Mailboxes support a chicken ladder that connects the lintel above the door and the steps of logs down to the ground.

These ladders link several rooftops to help cats reach the window.
